1One day another large crowd gathered around Jesus. They had not brought along anything to eat. So Jesus called his disciples together and said,
2“I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and they don't have anything to eat.
3Some of them live a long way from here. If I send them away hungry, they might faint on their way home.”
4The disciples said, “This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?”
5Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, “Seven small loaves of bread.”
6After Jesus told the crowd to sit down, he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He then broke the loaves and handed them to his disciples, who passed them out to the crowd.
7They also had a few little fish, and after Jesus had blessed these, he told the disciples to pass them around.
8-9The crowd of about 4,000 people ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets.
As soon as Jesus had sent the people away,
10he got into the boat with the disciples and crossed to the territory near Dalmanutha.A Sign from Heaven(Matthew 16.1-4)

16The disciples talked this over and said to each other, “He must be saying this because we don't have any bread.”
17Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you talking about not having any bread? Don't you understand? Are your minds still closed?
18 Others say you are one of the prophets.”
29 you will destroy it. But if you give up your life for me and for the good news, you will save it.
36What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself?
37What could you give to get back your soul?
38Don't be ashamed of me and my message among these unfaithful and sinful people! If you are, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
